Mongoose Legion L500 Black BMX Dirt Bike

Myself and others certainly had a few cuts and grazes from thrills ‘n’ spills but that’s par for the course. It’s been impressive how grab-and-go the bike has been throughout the time I’ve had it. I suppose a key question with bikes like these is whether the £500+ could be better spent on something else? For me, as a parent living in pumptrackland, it’s been a bike that I’ve used – and enjoyed – a lot more than I expected it to.

We perform all warranty services in MTBIKER stores after personal delivery or after sending the bike (or its part) by courier. The Fireball is Mongoose pro rider Greg Watts’ weapon of choice whether he’s competing on the world’s most insane slope style courses or riding his backyard trails at home. With durable Tectonic T1 aluminum construction and a tapered head tube, the Fireball is ready for any dirt jumps or big-wheeled street riding you can throw at it. For 50 years, we’ve been fueling the wild side of riders everywhere. We started the BMX mongoose racing bike revolution and still lead it today, offering bikes for all ages and ability levels, from that first BMX bike to performance hardtail and full-suspension mountain bikes for cycling enthusiasts.

Which is not so much a criticism, it’s more of an observation of the way things inherently are on playbikes like these. It’s certainly reminded me to stay off the brakes (unless/until you really have to use them) and to get more over – and lower down – at the front of the bike. As terrifying as it may be at first, you really cannot ride this bike without being really over the front tyre’s contact patch. We operate a 365-day return policy so that you can purchase with complete peace of mind. Most bikes and accessories are covered by a standard manufacturer’s warranty but please be aware that there are faults/issues that are NOT covered by your warranty. If you choose not to send your equipment back to us for disposal then you can dispose of any electricals or electronics yourself at your local recycling centre, who will dispose of your equipment via a controlled recycling process.

Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines. The Mongoose Fireball Moto isn’t a retro mountain bike. I live in a part of the world where the local council has gone bananas for pump tracks.

For over 45 years, Mongoose has been in the dirt, at the park, and on the street. Ranging from your first true BMX bike in the L18 to the full 4130 chromoly pro-performance L500, the Legion series was designed to withstand the punishment that takes place as you progress your BMX skills. Despite ‘amusingly’ saying A+E in the headline of this review, the Mongoose Fireball Moto never mongoose bicycle caused me to visit the hospital.
